Thanks for sharing these thoughtful insights into your filmmaking experience Ted! What a shame that "Mad World" did not make it. My husband and I watched "The Coddling" and will encourage our readers to watch it as well (especially with their teens). You provided a piece of sane ground between the extremes. Thanks for your excellent work! Looking forward to part 2.

Thank you so much for spreading the word, Ruth! Yes, we are very disappointed about Mad World. Thank you for your kind words -- by the way, we're a homeschool family too!

Happy to help spread seeds of sanity! I have some practical homeschooling resources on School of the Unconformed (incl. downloadable pdfs for Latin/Greek stems with fun activities that my co-op students loved:) and would be happy to give you a comp subscription if you are interested.

"The Coddling" was excellent, and I will definitely be checking out your other films! Thank you for weathering the chill and standing for the truth. And please make the Thomas Sowell movie!!!

Thank you, Jenny! Hope you enjoy the other films -- available on Amazon Prime and elsewhere. And I'd love to make the Sowell movie

There is a young actor on Substack who did a 'crowd fund' for a film/play about Thomas Sowell in which he would play the lead. He was able to raise over his goal.

Clifton Duncan was very much maligned by the industry and I'm very happy he's doing this. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sowell-a-solo-play-about-an-american-genius#/

Most know “history is written by the winners.”

But too often truth is hidden and ignored by those in power.

Yes indeed. Well said.

So apparently Mary Poppins has now been moved from Universal rating (family friendly), to Parental Guidance. Somebody somewhere got offended. I have no words.
